i think its UBER and this is coming from a 2004 , level 65 warrior, just think of the possibilitys, vox raid having trouble? shes CH'in herself 5 times a fight? what ?, oh wait lets all go raid this guy a few times, get all the rogue, mages, wizzys, casters , happy and get the 3 enchanters these staffs. swim,run, get to vox....70%hps..40%hps..vox starts to cast complete heal, vox spell has been inturrupted, all 3 enchanters blast away with this staff and mrs vox is oom, you have slain lady vox. woot, uber loot time..bazaar time..mysupersales time.. ( LOL ).. thought i might as well put in one idea that comes to mind.
You'll notice above that this spell only drains mana from the target but does NOT transfer it to you ...
OK I got all excited when I saw clickable, no mana "Mana Seive" instant cast. Then almost cried when I saw 7 charges. What is up with all the CRAP that Enchanters get. Almost nothing we get is of any use to us, unless it's an all/all item. Come on, give us something other than our epic that only we can use. Oh yeah and besides the other little gimme the Rod of Insiduous glamor. Anything we can use in battle would be a big PLUS.
If this were instaclick, unlimited charges, this thing would be exceptionally unbalancing. No caster mob you ever faced would be able to have any mana, you could empty it of mana in seconds. Take it for what it's worth; a great way to start out a dragon, or save your hiney if you're running out of mana.
Apparently none of you play pvp. . . lets pretend this was unlimted charges lol. that would be dumb. click click click click - no more mana - chanters beat all casters. . . sigh cmon newbs. Its a nice item but like most things may not be as useful on your bluebie servers.
I agree - it seems the mobs get 10-30 times the mana we get at the same levels, so I hardly think this would be unbalancing. The crappy gear we enchanters get is rediculous. And wanna talk about unbalanced? Two of our two main skills, charming and mezzing, are doable by bards, and they charm much better than we do. Haste and slow are doable by shamans. Seems the only reason to level an Enchanter anymore is to get KEI at lvl 60, if you can afford the spell. And what is the deal with Dire Charm? You get it at 59, but can't use it on my mobs over 45?! Sounds like a waste of AA points to me. SOE really needs to make these AA skills actually USEFUL instead of trying to make our lives difficult just because some uber guild beat their system.

there are 2 ways i know of to recharge
1. a quest some quests like a few in PoK can be done to recharge an item
2. some items can be recharged by placing the item and a mana battery in a toolbox and combining
There prolly are other ways but these are only two i know of so dont yell at me for being wrong:P
